Canaanite name: Asherah (N.B. In addition to native variations by locality or over time, there are often several possible transliterations into the Roman alphabet used for English.)

Asherah: Canaanite Goddess
Same as the Hebrew Goddess of the same name, Asherah.
Asherah The original bread of life. Hebrew and Canaanite women molded loaves of this figure which were blessed and ritually eaten, the precursor of the communion wafer. Her idols were found under every green tree, were carved from living trees, or erected as poles or pillars beside roadside altars. Crude clay images of her as tree of life later evolved into the more refined Syrian Artemis. Ancient sexual rites (dismissed to this day by male scholars as cult prostitution) associated with worship of Asherah insured that matrilineal descent patterns, with their partnership rather than dominator values, would continue. Hebrew priestly iconoclasts finally uprooted Asherah, supplanting matrifocal culture with patriarchy. Our Judeo-Christian inheritance of this law of the Levites, passed on by the Roman Empire, is one source of present-day sex inequality. JBL Statues
Saturday: Asherah is associated with Saturday.
